Dear friends and readers,
Heaven knows I don't want to glorify anybody in this post, much less a scumbag like Jack Abramoff. In order to make a point, I have to write his name down a few times and mention a movie about his time as a 'Super Lobbyist'.
Long story short, he was a lobbyist and made a bunch of money. He cozied up to folks on Capitol Hill and eventually went to jail. His story is not much different from any other lobbyists...except that he got caught.

I would encourage every American to read the above link....not only to find out exactly what happened, but to see towards the bottom of the article....what happened with the 'Ripple Effect'. See exactly how deep the conspiracy went.
There were a couple movies made about this guy. "Casino Jack" with Kevin Spacey as Jack, paints a clear, if not somewhat humorous picture regarding the true lobbyist goal...more money.

Even companies such as Facebook and Google are involved in lobbying our lawmakers. Believe me when I say..regardless of who is lobbying....they care only for themselves. Do some research...but know this: I have no affinity for lobbyists or their kind. If I were able as president, I would ban them or create an Executive Order barring lobbyists from Washington D.C.
Have a good day everyone.....
